This little gem of a restaurant opened almost 2 years ago and the word-of-mouth keeps the tables filled and patrons waiting at the bar and outside. Our first visit to Urban Kitchen, highly recommended by friends, lived up to the expectation.

It’s been fall for about a month and it’s starting to get a little cooler here in Philadelphia, but I’m not quite ready to make soups and stews just because the calendar says so. I still want to keep summer going (and… my neighbor was kind enough to give me some of the last of his basil), so I thought, how about some basil ice cream? The chef who taught the culinary techniques course I took last year treated the class to basil ice cream one night and it was absolutely – and unexpectedly – delicious.

Welcome!

I'm Nancy, an avid home cook and writer/editor by trade. Not long ago, I decided to combine my two passions and turn it into this blog. I enjoy cooking because it's structured but lets you color outside the lines, always teaches me something, and is completely relaxing even when there's flour on the floor and tomato sauce sputtering out of the pan. Stop by to read about the good, the bad, and the funny in my quest to become a fearless, better cook.
